Council names two members to governance committee; corrects minutes and approves consent agenda
Summary
The council appointed Councilors Elaine Haney and Marcus Serta to the newly formed governance committee, approved a correction to the Jan. 8 minutes and adopted the consent agenda. All actions passed unanimously.
The Essex Junction City Council appointed two council members to the newly formed governance committee and completed several routine votes Wednesday night.
Councilors Elaine Haney and Marcus Serta were appointed to the governance committee; the motion specified terms through Nov. 1, 2025, or until the committee completes its work. The council also accepted a correction to the Jan. 8 minutes — a spelling correction for Steve Eustis — and approved the consent agenda without objection.
Why it matters: The governance committee will undertake review and recommendations on city governance questions assigned by the council; appointing council members begins that process.
Council action: Motions to appoint the two council members, to accept the corrected minutes and to approve the consent agenda passed unanimously. Staff said administrative steps to convene the governance committee would follow immediately.
Ending note: Councilors thanked those who volunteered for the governance committee and asked staff to circulate meeting logistics.
